The telephone conversation between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi highlights the need for enhanced coordination between regional and international actors to support reconstruction efforts in Syria. The latter emphasize the importance of a comprehensive political process led and supported by the Syrians themselves, emphasizing the participation of the people and the protection of their rights.

Safadi condemned the recent Israeli incursion into Syrian territory, stressing Jordan’s commitment to supporting reconstruction efforts in Syria and encouraging regional and international partners to engage with the new emerging Syrian leadership.
The reconstruction of Syria is presented as a strategic priority for Jordan and the region as a whole. On regional security, Safadi stressed the importance of securing the 386-kilometer border shared between Jordan and Syria, which faces persistent challenges related to terrorism, drug trafficking and arms smuggling.
Meanwhile, Badr Abdelatty spoke of the need to respect the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Syria during his telephone conversation with his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud. He stressed the importance of the effective functioning of Syrian state institutions to restore stability in the country.
The complexity of the situation in Syria is exacerbated by internal and regional political issues, as well as the conflicting interests of the different parties involved. The reconstruction of the country and the promotion of an inclusive and Syrian political transition remain major challenges, requiring a concerted effort and a long-term vision to achieve a lasting resolution of the conflict.
In this context, Egypt and Jordan assert themselves as key actors in promoting dialogue and regional cooperation, emphasizing the need to respect the aspirations of the Syrian people and foster a just and lasting peace in the region.
